Talks by Carmelo Floridia, Senior Engineer (Data Processing) at BaxEnergy, at the Big Data for You event "Recommendation Systems: Talks & Workshop" (Catania, Feb. 25th, 2017). Carmelo offers a panorama view of BaxEnergy activities, in particular about Solar power plants, on how they analyse power curves and on how they can provide a real-time monitoring service and forecasting. Carmelo also describes the primary characteristics of Big Data and Machine Learning, and mention the Microsoft Azure Technology as the one currently used at Bax Energy. Although one can't see this from the slides, Carmelo gave us a live demonstration of Human model learning (based on kinect)!

Do we have a Big Data problem?
Big Data is typified by the "3 V’s":
• Volume – huge amount of data to process
• Variety – a mixture of structured and unstructured data
• Velocity – new data generated extremely frequent
Volume Variety Velocity

Benefitsof estimatingenergyproductionand demand
Forecast of how much renewable energy will be generated and demanded brings many benefits:
• efficiently control the number and capacity of turbines in operation to meet electricity demand.
• allow system operators to make better use of existing backup capacities.
• allow grid operators to more accurately schedule not only backup generation, but also manage
consumer demand.

What is machinelearning?
• Machine learning is a technique of data science that helps computers
learn from existing data in order to forecast future behaviors, outcomes,
and trends.
• These forecasts or predictions from machine learning can make apps
and devices smarter. When you shop online, machine learning helps
recommend other products you might like based on what you've
purchased.
